Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates generally to image processing, and in a specific example embodiment, to visualization of items in an environment using augmented reality.
  • the individual when an individual shops for an item, the individual must mentally visualize what the item will look like in the environment that the individual intends to place the item. Often, the individual has difficulty imagining the item with proper dimensions and orientation. In some cases, the individual may purchase the item only to realize that the item does not ideally fit in the environment. As a result, the individual may end up returning the item or otherwise disposing of the item (e.g., sell, trade, give away).
  • FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating an example embodiment of a network architecture of a system used to determining query aspects.
  • FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating an example embodiment of a publication system.
  • FIG. 3 is a block diagram illustrating an example embodiment of an augmented reality engine.

  • Example embodiments described herein provide systems and methods for visualizing of an item in an environment using augmented reality.
  • environment image data containing an image of an environment is received from a client device.
  • a selection of an item that is under consideration for purchase and placement into an indicated location of the environment is received.
  • An item image of the selected item is scaled to a scale that is based on dimensions determined from the environment image data for the environment. The dimensions may be determined based on a calculated distance to a focal point of the indicated location in the environment and on a marker located in the image of the environment.
  • the scaled item image is augmented into the image of the environment at the indicated location to generate an augmented reality image.
  • the scaled item may be oriented to match an orientation of the indicated location in the environment.
  • a user may search for an item and augment an image of an environment with an image of the item. Because the user can create and view an augmented reality image of the environment including the selected item, the user can easily visualize the selected item in the environment without having to, for example, manually cut and paste or scale the image of the item into the image of the environment. Therefore, one or more of the methodologies discussed herein may obviate a need for time consuming data processing by the user. This may have the technical effect of reducing computing resources used by one or more devices within the system. Examples of such computing resources include, without limitation, processor cycles, network traffic, memory usage, storage space, and power consumption.

  • Modules can provide information to, and receive information from, other modules. Accordingly, the described modules may be regarded as being communicatively coupled. Where multiples of such modules exist contemporaneously, communications may be achieved through signal transmission (e.g., over appropriate circuits and buses) that connect the modules. In embodiments in which multiple modules are configured or instantiated at different times, communications between such modules may be achieved, for example, through the storage and retrieval of information in memory structures to which the multiple modules have access. For example, one module may perform an operation and store the output of that operation in a memory device to which it is communicatively coupled. A further module may then, at a later time, access the memory device to retrieve and process the stored output. Modules may also initiate communications with input or output devices and can operate on a resource (e.g., a collection of information).
